"Tell me the instant minute you see Pa a comin', and I'll dish up the gravy," was Mrs. Wilkins's command, as she stepped in with a cup of tea for old "Harm," as she called Hepsey's mother. "He's a comin', Ma!" called Gusty, presently. "No, he ain't: it's a trainer," added Ann Lizy. "Yes, 'tis Pa! oh, my eye! ain't he stunnin'!" cried Wash, stricken for the first time with admiration of his sire.

She used to be the meekest of wives them days she dried her clothes on the 'Lizy Ann, but she don't knock under wuth a cent sense we riz in the world, and Ann Lizy is wus than her mother. But I'll show this to the old woman and let you know. May Jane did not approve, neither did Billy.

'That's where you ben the last half hour, hangin' 'round with them minxes in Mis' Shoolbred's. What's in that box? she says, with her face a-blazin'. "'Now, Lizy, I says, 'I wa'n't there ten minutes if I was that, an' I ben buyin' you a bunnit.
But I respect her for it; yes, I do, and by George, old chap, I congratulate you with my whole soul, and so does May Jane, and so does Ann 'Lizy, and so does Bill, and so does the whole caboodle on us.
